  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    In a world so lost ,what can we do to be more effective in reaching the lost?

    In my opinion the following; We need to be smart, if people hear someone shouting at them that they are going to burn in hell then they will immediately get on the defensive and at the same time give ammunition to those against us. Our measage should be of love and the teachings of Jesus. Yes...

    In a world so lost ,what can we do to be more effective in reaching the lost?

    As a recent convert to the teachings of Jesus Christ I would say the following attributes to why Christians are quite possibly the most persectued people today and certainly the most attacked in Western societies and why the rejection of Christ is in play. There seems to be little protection...

    Favorite calm Christian worship music?

    For relaxing music I usually listen to such examples as the following... Although some of Josquins' works was secular in nature. Also, Gregorian chants I find very relaxing... As for music used in worship/prayer to God. I think first of all music in general if it is secular I think we...

    I dont know what macho jobs would be to be honest, but yeah why not. Its based on peoples experiences so its true in that they are telling the truth as they see it through their experiences.

    'When I See Racial Disparities, I See Racism.' Discussing Race, Gender and Mobility

    The last part needs widening, what are the African immigrants studying during the four years in college? Do they have the same kind of bachelors degrees as the whites? Are they going for the high level jobs or do whites study subjects that can lead in to high paying jobs? Stats can be deceiving...

    End of Days?

    This has been a fascinating read. As someone who worked and studied in IT, my argument prior to finding Jesus (recently) with regards to development of AI and similar autonomous systems is that the only scenerio I could envision was an emergence of a complete utopian world or a complete...

    Just crying right now...

    I have to say when Chester Bennington of Linkin Park committed suicide last year, I felt sad for him, his family and close friends. I was a fan of Linkin Park back in early 2000s and suicide is just difficult to conprehend. My grandfather and uncle both committed suicide before I was born and...

    Why is Jesus portrayed as White?

    There is way too much hostility in this debate, I can sense the undertone (or overtone in one or two) of many posts here. I also dont think this debate is getting anywhere, just causing division. Isnt there enough of that in this world? As followers of Jesus Christ, brothers and sisters, can I...

    Why Is Gender Dysphoria A Sin?

    And this is the reason why I consider Gender indentity issues to be a psychological issue that needs to be treated and the people who suffer need help. Perhaps it is a chemical imbalance, but so too are many mental health issues. The biggest issue I have with gender dysmorphia is how it is...

    Questions about The Unpardonable Sin

    Thank you for making me aware. To be honest, I have never understood why a person would act in such a way. Even in my lost secular years i felt no need to attack the tenets of our faith, let alone speak ill of the Holy Spirit. I appreciate your response.

    Pray for Zanzibar Christians. Families shunned for their faith. Christian brothers beaten.

    May God bless, protect and give strength to our brothers and sisters in Zanzibar facing such hostility.
